Conan’s Corpse Picker

Just when he thought Calvados had escaped, unexpectedly, another voice came from the side.

——Conan was forced to shut up, but his little friend Hattori Heiji has not yet.

Hattori Heiji looked at Cavados: "It's not strange to work and experience life, but you were almost beaten to death by a murderer yesterday, and today you came to the banquet as if nothing had happened... Speaking of which, why didn't you go to check the headquarters and take notes? You are an important witness at the scene of the second murder."

Vodka: "..." I almost forgot, the little minion has shut up, but there is a black minion here!

And if I remember correctly, this black minion is the son of the Osaka police chief, and the girl next to him is also the daughter of a high-ranking police official... Sure enough, after Tokyo, Osaka is gradually becoming a playground for that thing.

It seems that I will try to avoid business trips here in the future.

While Vodka was secretly planning his career, he thought of something and glanced at Calvados from the corner of his eye: If this guy was unfortunately exposed... then he would have to get away as soon as possible and sever the relationship.

Just as he was thinking about it, Calvados snorted coldly: "What does it have to do with you whether to take a record or not? You are an underage brat, you really think of yourself as a policeman."

"You...!" Hattori Heiji's fist hardened. He was about to pounce on him, but he was held back by Toyama and Ye.

Next to him, Conan's eyes twitched as well, feeling as if he had been shot.

Vodka, on the other hand, had a straight face and a deadpan expression: he couldn't smile. No matter how much you want to laugh, you can't laugh - it doesn't matter to this little kid detective from Osaka, but if you accidentally laugh and be seen by Uzo next to you...

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Jiangxia say to Hattori Heiji: "What this gentleman said makes sense. We should ask the police to talk to him about the transcript."

Calvados: "..."

…

Fortunately, until the end, Hattori Heiji was too embarrassed to run to his police uncle for such a trivial matter.

The two sides glared at each other unhappily and separated.

And Vodka keenly discovered that compared to just now, Calvados seemed to want to kill Hattori Heiji more than Jiang Xia.

Vodka: "..." Cunning Uzo, he must be using this method to distract Calvados... But to be fair, regardless of his prejudice against Uzo, this trick is very effective. Make a note of it and study it next time.

Vodka looked at Calvados as he thought.

On the other side, someone was also looking at Hattori Heiji and muttering.

Toyama and Ye pulled their friends and whispered: "Do you feel that something is not right with Heiji?"

"What's wrong?" Suzuki Sonoko was confused, "I think he's still the same as before." He's the same outspoken person who likes to criticize people.

"No." Toyama and Ye shook their heads solemnly, and she lowered her voice, "A few days ago, Heiji made a sneaky phone call. When I passed by, I heard him saying something like 'thank you', 'a person', 'Quietly' or something like that."

"'Thank you', 'A person', 'Quietly'?"

Suzuki Sonoko blinked, and the words swirled around in her mind, and suddenly they were pieced together into a sentence like she was playing a sentence game when she was a child. She blurted out, "'Want to thank me? Then come to me quietly in the middle of the night. Remember, be alone'.

The other two female high school students: "!"

Mao Lilan blushed: "This, how does this sound so similar..." It's like the beginning of a movie where the heroine and the villain fall in love!

Yuan Shan and Ye Ze were furious and clenched their fists: "That bastard actually took advantage of me in order to repay a favor!"

Suzuki Sonoko touched her chin like a detective: "According to my experience, a woman who can be threatened like this must be the kind of woman who looks very reserved, and since it is 'quietly', there must be a reason why she must avoid people. ——For example, maybe that woman already has a husband!”

"!!" Toyama Heye's pupils trembled, he gritted his teeth and rolled up his sleeves, "Heiji actually... No, we can't let him go, I'm going to deal with him right now!"

Suzuki Sonoko quickly grabbed her: "Wait, this is just our speculation, there is no evidence - why not, let's go around the venue first and see if there are any poor girls who meet the requirements."

The two female high school students looked at each other, gave each other a high-five, held each other's arms, and walked away majestically.

Jiang Xia came over to eavesdrop: "..."

...No, you may be overthinking it. These words should be what Hattori Heiji said to Conan after he told Conan that his football idol was present at the opening ceremony of K3 Hotel - "Just be grateful. Come here quietly, Don’t alarm others” and the like.

but……

He glanced at the two fellow detectives who had gathered together in the distance and left him alone to discuss the sniper case. Jiang Xia turned her head away silently, pretending that she didn't hear anything just now.

…

Before the official start of the opening ceremony, there is often a blank period of time for the guests who come to the dinner to warm up and communicate.

Toyama Kazuha hit it off with Suzuki Sonoko and went on patrol to find someone. Calvados also held a wine glass, intending to find an opportunity to approach and observe the target reporter.

Jiang Xia finally went to two high school detectives. Vodka looked around and realized that all the dangerous elements had dispersed, and the entire venue was filled with Uzo's aura.

"What am I going to do, I'm like Calvados running into the corner and watching in the dark?"

As soon as this thought came up, Vodka extinguished it - no. As we all know, unless there is a large-scale damage like an explosion, it is much safer to be in a brightly lit place with many sights than to hide in a corner.

On the horror stage created by Wu Zuo, he has seen many stage actors who died when they were left alone, and he must not be one of them.

"In other words, it is safest to stay here. In addition, in order to avoid the explosion, I'd better stay next to Jiang Xia."

Having come to this conclusion rationally, Vodka bravely took a step towards Jiang Xia.

Then he stopped silently and retracted his legs to his original position.

Vodka: "..."

He understood the reason, but he felt uncomfortable being so close to Wu Zuo.

"Besides, there's not only Uzo there, but also two of his minions." Vodka muttered to himself, "If I go over now, I'll definitely be caught and asked about Calvados. Maybe that kid will even want to secretly pull out a hair from me, just like he did last time when he tried to harm me at the station."

Thinking of this, Vodka finally gave up the idea.

Then he rolled his eyes, compromised, and walked in another direction...Finally, he stopped beside Mao Lilan as if nothing had happened.
